You have to map to <C-c> instead of <Esc> in command line mode: map! <C-Space> <C-c> will do it. See ":h c_<Esc>" for some more info. There is some more info in this thread: http://www.nabble.com/remapping-different-keys-to-Escape-in-command-mode-doesn%27t-work-as-expected-td20428350.html Also, if you are in the process of finding an "Esc-replacement" then why not look into using Caps Lock as Esc? I have installed PCKeyboardHack which can be downloaded from here: http://www.pqrs.org/tekezo/macosx/keyremap4macbook/extra.html See ":h macvim|/caps lock" for more info on this.
